So far, the best Johor laksa is still home cooked IMO. That said, I think the one in Restoran Tambak Tide Of Opinion. I-Chiro
Johor in Seksyen 11 Shah Alam, is not bad (and not expensive at all). Sushi Bar, One Utama,
PJ.
As for Nasi Lemak, if you're in the Section 7/i-City area, do try Restoran Nasi Lemak Cinta Sayang. Had
my suspicions with the name at first, but found out that the rice is oh-so-fragrant, and the sambal is really
good. 8 years ago
